Hans and Franz across America with Aaron Rogers' cantaloupe calves
Ubiquitous police cameras including mounting them on individual LEOs are only the beginning of an expanded public sphere as many Americans wish to affirm their drone-like relationship to the hive mind of the modern surveillance state. Must we achieve the ratios achieved in the border-conscious
East Germany "The ratio for the Stasi was one secret policeman per 166 East Germans", since more police seem to create more shootings of unarmed civilians.
you will not be assimilated - turn back - you must self-deport
Perhaps in the age of
selfie-sticks and electronic
endarchy everyone should have their own Google Glass considering how expensive it is to operate UAV drones and now that Google has spun off the wearable network peripherals to another entrepreneurial division. One person - One Google Glass.
Until that happens, we're back to "if you say something, see something" pretty much how FoxNews and the RWNJs function.
"Hans Across America or at least the Southern Border" - yeah that's the solution.
and if you get too close to me you might get impailed anyway
...there are still would-be vigilante militiamen out patrolling the Arizona desert on the lookout for illegal border crossers. And because they are smaller cells and increasingly radical, they are proving to be a real problem.
A TV crew from KPHO-TV in Phoenix recently went out with one of these militia crews and filmed them in action in the desert, as well as at a recruitment gathering. The militiamen insisted on anonymity -– dubbing themselves such monikers as "Reaper" and "Raptor" -– but insisted they were only out to perform a public service.
"We're here to protect our community, first and foremost. Protect our state, second. And in doing so, that also means curbing the flow of drugs into our cities," the man dubbed Reaper told the reporters.
Homeland Security's specifications say drones must be able to detect whether a civilian is armed.
After spending eight years and hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has yet to prove the value of its Unmanned Aircraft System (drone) program while drastically understating the costs, according to a new report by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Inspector General (OIG). Based on its findings, OIG recommends that CBP abandon plans to spend $443 million more on additional aircraft and put those funds to better use.
The OIG specifically found that, during Fiscal Year 2013:
- OAM calculated that it cost $2,468 per hour to operate a drone. OIG found the actual price tag to be $12,255 per hour, noting that OAM omitted such key costs as salaries for
operators, equipment and overhead.
2014 was supposed to be the year wearable technology took off, but it just didn't.
Until everyone's wearing robotic headsets, like a permanent state of Daft Punk video, most of us would probably feel a bit foolish sporting Google Glass in the street.
Google Glass made my glaucoma worse!
